Surah Al-Fajr
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
وَالْفَجْرِۙ١
Wal-fajr(i).
[1]
By the dawn
وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍۙ٢
Wa layālin ‘asyr(in).
[2]
And [by] ten nights
وَّالشَّفْعِ وَالْوَتْرِۙ٣
Wasy-syaf‘i wal-watr(i).
[3]
And [by] the even [number] and the odd
وَالَّيْلِ اِذَا يَسْرِۚ٤
Wal-laili iżā yasr(i).
[4]
And [by] the night when it passes,
هَلْ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِيْ حِجْرٍۗ٥
Hal fī żālika qasamul liżī ḥijr(in).
[5]
Is there [not] in [all] that an oath [sufficient] for one of perception?
اَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍۖ٦
Alam tara kaifa fa‘ala rabbuka bi‘ād(in).
[6]
Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with 'Aad -
اِرَمَ ذَاتِ الْعِمَادِۖ٧
Irama żātil-‘imād(i).
[7]
[With] Iram - who had lofty pillars,
الَّتِيْ لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِى الْبِلَادِۖ٨
Allatī lam yukhlaq miṡluhā fil-bilād(i).
[8]
The likes of whom had never been created in the land?
وَثَمُوْدَ الَّذِيْنَ جَابُوا الصَّخْرَ بِالْوَادِۖ٩
Wa ṡamūdal-lażīna jābuṣ-ṣakhra bil-wād(i).
[9]
And [with] Thamud, who carved out the rocks in the valley?
وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِى الْاَوْتَادِۖ١٠
Wa fir‘auna żil-autād(i).
[10]
And [with] Pharaoh, owner of the stakes? -
الَّذِيْنَ طَغَوْا فِى الْبِلَادِۖ١١
Allażīna ṭagau fil-bilād(i).
[11]
[All of] whom oppressed within the lands
فَاَكْثَرُوْا فِيْهَا الْفَسَادَۖ١٢
Fa akṡarū fīhal-fasād(a).
[12]
And increased therein the corruption.
فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍۖ١٣
Fa ṣabba ‘alaihim rabbuka sauṭa ‘ażāb(in).
[13]
So your Lord poured upon them a scourge of punishment.
اِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِالْمِرْصَادِۗ١٤
Inna rabbaka labil-mirṣād(i).
[14]
Indeed, your Lord is in observation.
فَاَمَّا الْاِنْسَانُ اِذَا مَا ابْتَلٰىهُ رَبُّهٗ فَاَكْرَمَهٗ وَنَعَّمَهٗۙ فَيَقُوْلُ رَبِّيْٓ اَكْرَمَنِۗ١٥
Fa ammal-insānu iżā mabtalāhu rabbuhū fa akramahū wa na‘‘amah(ū), fa yaqūlu rabbī akraman(i).
[15]
And as for man, when his Lord tries him and [thus] is generous to him and favors him, he says, "My Lord has honored me."
وَاَمَّآ اِذَا مَا ابْتَلٰىهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهٗ ەۙ فَيَقُوْلُ رَبِّيْٓ اَهَانَنِۚ١٦
Wa ammā iżā mabtalāhu fa qadara ‘alaihi rizqah(ū), fa yaqūlu rabbī ahānan(i).
[16]
But when He tries him and restricts his provision, he says, "My Lord has humiliated me."
كَلَّا بَلْ لَّا تُكْرِمُوْنَ الْيَتِيْمَۙ١٧
Kallā bal lā tukrimūnal-yatīm(a).
[17]
No! But you do not honor the orphan
وَلَا تَحٰۤضُّوْنَ عَلٰى طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِيْنِۙ١٨
Wa lā taḥāḍḍūna ‘alā ṭa‘āmil-miskīn(i).
[18]
And you do not encourage one another to feed the poor.
وَتَأْكُلُوْنَ التُّرَاثَ اَكْلًا لَّمًّاۙ١٩
Wa ta'kulūnat-turāṡa aklal lammā(n).
[19]
And you consume inheritance, devouring [it] altogether,
وَّتُحِبُّوْنَ الْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّاۗ٢٠
Wa tuḥibbūnal-māla ḥubban jammā(n).
[20]
And you love wealth with immense love.
كَلَّآ اِذَا دُكَّتِ الْاَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّاۙ٢١
Kallā iżā dukkatil-arḍu dakkan dakkā(n).
[21]
No! When the earth has been leveled - pounded and crushed -
وَّجَاۤءَ رَبُّكَ وَالْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّاۚ٢٢
Wa jā'a rabbuka wal-malaku ṣaffan ṣaffā(n).
[22]
And your Lord has come and the angels, rank upon rank,
وَجِايْۤءَ يَوْمَىِٕذٍۢ بِجَهَنَّمَۙ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ يَّتَذَكَّرُ الْاِنْسَانُ وَاَنّٰى لَهُ الذِّكْرٰىۗ٢٣
Wa jī'a yauma'iżim bijahannam(a), yauma'iżiy yatażakkarul-insānu wa annā lahuż-żikrā.
[23]
And brought [within view], that Day, is Hell - that Day, man will remember, but what good to him will be the remembrance?
يَقُوْلُ يٰلَيْتَنِيْ قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِيْۚ٢٤
Yaqūlu yā laitanī qaddamtu liḥayātī.
[24]
He will say, "Oh, I wish I had sent ahead [some good] for my life."
فَيَوْمَىِٕذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهٗٓ اَحَدٌ ۙ٢٥
Fa yauma'iżil lā yu‘ażżibu ‘ażābahū aḥad(un).
[25]
So on that Day, none will punish [as severely] as His punishment,
وَّلَا يُوْثِقُ وَثَاقَهٗٓ اَحَدٌ ۗ٢٦
Wa lā yūṡiqu waṡāqahū aḥad(un).
[26]
And none will bind [as severely] as His binding [of the evildoers].
يٰٓاَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَىِٕنَّةُۙ٢٧
Yā ayyatuhan-nafsul-muṭma'innah(tu).
[27]
[To the righteous it will be said], "O reassured soul,
ارْجِعِيْٓ اِلٰى رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً ۚ٢٨
Irji‘ī ilā rabbiki rāḍiyatam marḍiyyah(tan).
[28]
Return to your Lord, well-pleased and pleasing [to Him],
فَادْخُلِيْ فِيْ عِبٰدِيْۙ٢٩
Fadkhuli fī ‘ibādī.
[29]
And enter among My [righteous] servants
وَادْخُلِيْ جَنَّتِيْ ࣖࣖ٣٠
Wadkhulī jannatī.
[30]
And enter My Paradise."
